Here’s something of which will interest you all ![]()
Before we begin, we need to take care of a few things.
1) DISCLAIMER: Use this tutorial at your own risk, i am not responsible for you damaging your phone. (Nothing should go wrong if you just stick to the tutorial and don’t delete anything stupid)
2) Click here to download the FarManager
If you experience issues with it, then you can try this one, thanks to Reignman for providing the link.
Click here to download FarManager 2.0 b16783) The sony ericsson update service (Click here to download) This includes the drivers
Now lets get to work

Extract the downloaded zip file and run the file “Far.exe”

Once the program has loaded, press “F11″ on the keyboard, to load the pop-up menu, which shows you all the plug-ins

Click on “SEFP2″, this is the plugin which lets you access your phone

Click on “Connect”, to start the connection process

Turn off your phone, then press and hold the “C” button on your phone’s keypad. Whilst holding the button, plugin the cable.
If the “C” button does not work, you can try holding the buttons “2″ & “5″ together.

Navigate to where your menu is stored on your computer using the left hand column.
Navigate to /tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash using the right hand column.
NB “..” – if you click this, then you will go to the parent folder.

Click the menu you want to upload on the left hand column, and drag it onto the right hand column

Click on “Copy”, which will upload a copy of the file onto your phone

Now click on “Quit”, when you have finished uploading all the menus onto your phone

Click on “Yes” to exit the program
That concludes the tutorial, if you want to link this flash menu to a different theme, then view this tutorial and skip to part 2
If you get any problems, then just post a comment. Thanks

I m using Sony Ericsson Hazel (J20i). Far manager can’t detect my phone. What can I do?
Hi Tanim, try turning off your phone, press and hold the ‘C’ button, then plug in the cable. If it still doesn’t work, try downloading the Sony Ericsson Update Service, as that contains the drivers required to communicate with the phone.
IT DOESNT WORK HOLDING C OR 2N5…
I to try downloading the Sony Ericsson Update Service, but there is no phone hazel model..
Hi ezand, I can assure you that Hazel is in the list. Click on the third icon under the heading ‘Show this type’, and the phone is the second one on the top row.
how to connect my phone if i use card reader?
Hi silvia, to install a flash menu, you have to connect the phone directly to the computer using the USB cable that came with the phone.
But i don’t have usb cable.I only use card reader.
Hi silvia, unfortunately, to install flash menus, you need to use the USB cable to access the phone’s firmware. I find quite unusual that you don’t have a cable, as all Sony Ericsson phones come with one. Anyway, you can still install themes by just copying them to the ‘themes’ folder on your memory card.
Hi KR8TER thank you for sharing this, by the way will this method/flashing work on Sony Ericsson ELM J10i2? Because I don’t want my phone to be damaged after flashing
Thanks in advance for answering my question
Hi Raymond, using FarManger will not damage your phone as long as you follow the tutorial.
Hi kr8ter im using a sony erricson Cedar. I have installed Far manager V 2.0b and sefp2w plugin. But when i try to connect my phone using far manager it , doesnt connect and my update service is latest. Pls Help me as i wanna install flash themes and enjoy a lil more frm my phone
Hi Cyber, if you are able to connect to the update service, then FarManager should work, since they both use the same method of connecting to the phone. You could try turning the phone off, taking the battery out, putting it back in again, hold the button ‘C’ down and connect the USB cable.
i have done it successfully but i can’t find the flash theme in my phone(location).please help
Hi asd, first make sure the flash menu is installed in ‘/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash’, now check to see if you linked the theme with the flash menu (scroll to the bottom, of this tutorial), finally make sure you installed the correct theme onto your phone
Hello, I have an SE ELM.
1) I’ve managed to access the phone trough Farmanager form this site, but from http://www.farmanager.com dose not have the menu with SPEF2 and I just wonder why, should I add something in the folder to plugins or settings?
2) What is menu.swf from this tutorial and from where can be that downloaded?
I was trying this because I found some themes that are made for se ELM and they dosen’t work, and I was supposing that I need to install something related to adobe flash player or shock wave player
Hi doctortonic, the FarManager from this site already has the SEFP2 plugin installed, if you download it from FarManager’s own website, then you will need to install the SEFP2 plugin. Also, the ‘menu.swf’ is an example given in the tutorial, you can download any of the Flash Lite 3.x themes on this site, as they will all work on your phone. Make sure the flash menu is installed on the phone in this location: ‘/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash’, otherwise it will not load.
Will it work for zylo!
Where I can get more flash themes?
Hi Ken, yeah, this will work on the Zylo, also all the flash themes on this site which state they support Flash Lite 3, will work on your phone.
i need theme for those shake controlled flash menus
Hi ken, I have added themes to all of the shake controlled flash menus, which were keyless shake laser precision menu, keyless shake music menu and keyless shakemas menu.
hey kr8ter,..are u there on facebook..?:)
Hi vegeta, the website does have a Facebook page, which can be accessed from the box in the sidebar, on the top right side of the page.
hey kr8ter..does this site have any motion related themes..?
Hi vegeta, we do have many motion related themes, If you put your mouse over the ‘Themes’ on the menu at the top of the page, you will see a drop down. Floating, Follow Me, Rotating and Shake are all motion sensored.
We also have motion sensored menus such as Call of Duty, Hello Kitty, Keyless Shake (use the search box on the site, to find these menus)
hey kr8ter,..i have downloaded many flash menu themes frm various sites..they come in zip format..when i xtract the file,i get 2 files,the theme file and the swf file..when i put these files into my phn the theme works and d swf file remains as a seperate file..the flash menu of the theme doesnt work..and when i view the swf file i cn c it as a normal flash file..hw to use the swf file as my menu..?thanx in advance..
Hi vegeta, to use the flash menu, you have to install it using FarManager, by copying the swf flash menu file, into ‘/tpa/preset/system/desktop/flash’.
Once you have done this, then the theme file will load the flash menu.
